Spider Vein Treatment
Am I a candidate?Two of the most common and confidence-shaking conditions we see at our Renew Wellness & Aesthetics in Oklahoma City are spider veins and varicose veins. These skin conditions may have you feeling hesitant about exposing skin with visible veins present. Luckily, spider veins and varicose veins are treatable conditions that you don’t have to let hamper your self-esteem.
Spider veins and varicose veins are sometimes confused as the same types of veins, but there are actually a few distinct differences between the two. Spider veins appear on the surface of your skin. They are small and typically pink, purple, or red in color. Varicose veins are still visible on the surface of your skin, but are actually a little deeper than spider veins. Varicose veins are green or blue in color. Both conditions are easily treated with little recovery needed thanks to Renew Wellness & Aesthetics’s laser technology.

The Spider Vein Treatment Process
What to Expect
Consultation
Before your spider vein treatment at Renew Wellness & Aesthetics in Oklahoma City, we will meet with you for a consultation to discuss your skin’s condition. We will go over any concerns you may have and share detailed information on treatment options and chart out the most effective plan to suit your needs.
Spider Vein Treatment
We will start by cleansing the area of the skin that will be treated. The number of injections will vary based on the size of the area needing treatment. Injections are administered with a very fine needle. A single injection typically covers 1 inch of vein length.
Next Steps
After your Spider vein removal treatment in Oklahoma City, we will discuss any follow-up or post-care instructions you need to be aware of. If an additional treatment session is required, we will schedule it at this time.
Pre-Care Instructions:
- Purchase compression stockings to be worn after treatment.
- Avoid shaving any areas to be treated on the day of your appointment.
- Wear loose comfortable clothing to your appointment.
Post-Care Instructions:
- Wear compression stockings day and night for 2 to 3 days after treatment for spider veins.
- Wear compression stockings day 5 to 7 days after treatment for varicose veins.
- Walk for 15 to 20 minutes immediately after treatment.
- Walk for 15 to 20 minutes daily for a few days after treatment.
- Avoid sunbathing, hot baths, long plane flights, and heavy lifting for 2 to 3 days after treatment.
You may resume normal activity immediately after treatment. If you’re unsure about a specific activity, ask your Renew Wellness & Aesthetics vein specialist.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Viora™ Laser work on spider veins?
As part of the Viora™ Laser System, the Nd: YAG module works by using light energy that is delivered in pulses to safely reduce and eliminate vascular lesions such as spider veins. This technology enables our medical professionals to use the light source in targeted areas to treat vascular conditions and cause them to fade away.
Because of its ability to target specific areas for treatment, there is little worry about surrounding areas of skin, tissue, or veins being affected or damaged. The Nd: YAG module uses multiple sequential pulsing light sources, which allow the device to deliver a sequence of pulses of energy that cool between pulses. This allows the device to be used on nearly all skin types, including darker skin while limiting pain and the chances of unwanted side effects.
The benefits of this treatment include:
- Non-invasive treatment
- Immediate, noticeable results for most clients
- Little downtime
Spider veins, along with varicose veins, affect both men and women at any age. However, women who are of childbearing age and older generally develop spider veins more commonly, especially those who have a family history of the condition.
This non-invasive treatment creates visible results that most clients will see immediately, with full improvement after several weeks as the veins slowly fade away. In the case of multiple veins or areas in need of treatments, multiple sessions spread over a period of one to two-month intervals may be necessary.
Do spider vein treatments hurt?
While there may be some discomfort, with Viora’s contact cooling system, our laser technology treatments provide the most comfortable experiences possible.
How long do spider vein treatments take?
Viora’s laser technology includes variable pulse configurations, enabling the most effective and safe treatments. Exact treatment time depends upon the specific application, each individual patient’s condition, and the specific area that is being targeted for treatment.
When will I see results?
Treatment effects are visible immediately.
How many treatment sessions will I need?
Typically, the number of treatment sessions ranges from 4-8 treatments, depending upon the actual application needed, and each patient. Please consult with one of our medical practitioners at Renew Wellness and Aesthetics to better understand your individual needs.
How long do the results last?
One maintenance session is generally recommended every 3-6 months, or as required. Your medical practitioner at Renew Wellness and Aesthetics can advise the best time interval for your specific needs.
What skin types are treatable?
All skin types can be treated. We recommend scheduling a consultation to have an evaluation with one of our medical professionals prior to your treatment. Call Renew Wellness and Aesthetics to schedule an appointment today! 405-810-5944.
